[OPLINTECH] Print server issues

[Ron Woods]

Have you tried stopping and restarting the spooler service?

Also you could try to use the "Advanced Tab" of the Printer properties on
Server 2003 and change the location of the Print Spool..perhaps its
corrupted somehow?

If restarting the service doesn't work, moving the print spool may fix the
issue for you.

Subject: [OPLINTECH] Print server issues

I need a hail mary pass here. I have one print server that -just over night
it seems- doesn't like pdf files suddenly. There are several printers hosted
on the server (2003) and it doesn't seem to matter which printer you choose,
if it is a PDF file it takes forever to spool, the file bloats to some
massive size,  and when it does print it's one page every 10 seconds. I've
tried updated PCL drivers, postscript drivers, updated adobe
reader...nothing I try is making a difference. Again it is only PDF files
causing this, other documents zip right through. I'm banging my head against
a keyboard here, any ideas?
